This invention relates to cooking utensils, and more particularly to aerforate basket adapted to be employed wit a stew pan in cooking foodsin deep fat, such as French like; and the 0b]60t of the invention is toprovide an open-work basket adapted to fit within a stew an, and havinga handle ar- -ranged to be ocated coextensive with the in order that thetwo handles may be grasped together when the basket is in the stew pan,the handle of the basket having a down-turned end ortion adapted to restupon the handle of t e stew and feet being provided upon the asket forengagement with the rim lip of the stew pan in order that the basket maybe supported out of the fat to permit the food to be drained while keptat a maximum dropping backinto the pan.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, 1n which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the imbasket showingthe same supstew pan for draining, and,

ported upon a asket Fig. 2, a similar view showing the in osition withinthe stew an.

imilar numerals of re erence indicate corresponding parts throughout thedrawbe of any well known design, and rovided with may be met wood or anyother usual construction. The improved frying basket 3, to which theinvention pertains, is preferably formed of wire, and of a size toconveniently fit within the stew pan 1.

The rim of the wire frying basket may be reinforced b a heavier wire 4,from which may be a so formed the wire handle 5, preferably twisted at6, and extended from the basket at an angle there-V 8W8. to, the outerend portion of this handle being open as at 7, and terminating in thedown-turned foot portion 8, havin the concaved lower end 9, arranged toe seate upon the handle 2 of the stew pan when the basket is in positionfor draining, as shown in Fig. 1.

doughnuts and the a a handle 2 which 1 edge of the receptac Applicationtor in the curved feet 11 located substantial- 1y at the bottom'of thewire basket and arranged to enga e pan to drain t e contents of thesame, as shown in Fig. v1.

, When it is desired to fry food in deep fat, the food is placed in thewire basket 3, which is then positioned within the stew pan 1, as shownin ig. 2, the stew pan being of course filled to the desired depth withhot fat. It will be seen that with the basket in this position thehandle 2 of the stew pan is received through the 0 en down-turned footportion 8 of the has et handle, thus locating the two handles togetherand in position to be grasped in one hand if it is necessary to move theutensil.

'hen the food has been properly cooked, it is necessary that all of thesuperfl fat be drained from the same, and with the present utensil thisis easily and readily accomplished by raising the basket out of the fatand placing the same over the stew pan, the feet 11 of the basketengaging the rim edge of the stew pan, and the downturned foot 8 of thebasket handle resting upon the handle of the stew pan. The basket isthus held out of the fat and the food is maintained at a maximumtemperature while draining, all of the superfluous fat draining from thefood back into the stew I claim:
